The vast range
of human and technical resources offered by the Securitas/ Securiton/
Contrafeu
group forms a solid basis for establishing security concepts for any field.
- Contrafeu Ltd. with head office in Münsingen has been
specialized in the manufacturing and sale of fire protection systems for
many years.
- Stationary extinction systems, fire extinguishers for
all purposes and equipment, material and vehicles for fire brigades are
manufactured with great sophistication and experience.

Rescue,
Confine, Extinguish
- The fire service
department offers a large number of equipment and devices and is therefore
able to satisfy the demand of fire brigades. The program includes portable
fire extinguishers as well as motor pumps and pump water tenders. There
is also a great number of devices for personal equipment of the individual
fireman.
|
- As fire fighting is no longer
the only task of today's fire brigades, the rang of products has been completed
with different devices for the fight against inundations, oil pollution
and chemicals.
|
- Most of the products are developed
and manufactured in Contrafeu's workshops.
|
- Contrafeu as successor of the
Ferdinand Schenk company for motor pumps in Worblaufen still engages itself
to manufacture and maintain such pumps. The program includes various water
pumps for civil protection.
|
- Having considerable experience in the construction of
trailers (pump tender trailers, reel trailers, ladder trailers, etc.), Contrafeu
is able to mount pump water tenders, oil pollution protection tenders and
emergency vehicles on any chassis desired by the customer. Although certain
elements are standardized, the unitized construction system allows far reaching
adaptation to the individual needs.
|
- Conventional as well as newly loped installations for
the maintenance of fire hoses are based on an energy saving air circulation
system which is adapted to the modern materials and which contributes actively
to the protection of the environment.
|
- As a contribution to security in buildings, Contrafeu
offers the necessary means for evacuation of persons from endangered objects.
These include emergency ladders and stairs individually constructed for
every building, as well as emergency lights, signalization for escape ways
and many other items.

Fire
Fighting
- Stationary extinction
systems are automatic, permanently installed fire extinction systems. Depending
on the purpose and nature of the buildings or installation to be protected,
sprinkler, halon, carbonic acid or foam extinction systems can be used.
|
- In the case of sprinkler systems which
use tap water as means of extinction, only those nozzles will be operated
which are close to the fire. This ensures maximum efficiency by keeping
the spreading of water to a minimum.
|
- Contrary to the sprinkler systems, halon
extinction installations will flood the entire room where a fire has
broken out. In order to extinguish a fire quickly without causing
secondary damages, a very high halon concentration must be achieved in
a few seconds. Carbonic acid systems are based on much the same
principal as halon installations.
|
- An efficient CO2 concentration in the endangered
room must be reached within a relatively short time. Carbonic acid
systems are mainly used for electrical installations, but not where
persons are working permanently. Foam extinction systems are
principally used in chemical and petrol industry. They are usually
installed for the protection of one specific object - be it in a
building or outside.
|
- All the above mentioned installations are
calculated, designed, installed and maintained by the department for
stationary extinction systems of Contrafeu.
